beezer Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Just wondering what might be the best avenue to take. Should I look at remanufactured axles or buy new ones. My Legacy has higher mileage if this makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stansgl Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Just wondering what might be the best avenue to take. Should I look at remanufactured axles or buy new ones. My Legacy has higher mileage if this makes a difference. I bought a reman off a dealer on ebay for my '84 GL wagon for under $20 and so far its been fine.

NorthWet Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Napa autoparts even offers a lifetime warranty on theirs never had a problem with mine Jamie I went with NAPA, and have really used the Lifetime Warranty. Had a string of bad remans... Got good at changing axles, though. Once they also gave me an axle that had its threads cut-down and a 32mm nut used. PITA, ended up taking it back and exchanging.

Legacy777 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 www.cvaxles.com probably one of the better rebuilders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 Ditto on www.cvaxles.com. I would avoid remans by ARI. New is great but watch out for the price!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezer Posted October 31, 2004 Author Share Posted October 31, 2004 Thanks guys! I will probably go with the remanufactured axle from a reputable dealer that comes with a decent warranty . Beezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kh0432 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Just wondering what might be the best avenue to take. Should I look at remanufactured axles or buy new ones. My Legacy has higher mileage if this makes a difference. I put reman axles in my 91 Legacy and they were as bad as the old ones. Found brand new ones on ebay for almost the same cost as reman and it sounds like new again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eman Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 NAPA has new ones now.They call them Max Drive. Only about $20 more than remans and don't need to turn the old ones back in as they are worn out....Trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
